Mischief at the Museum is a 1-6 player board game where players collaborate to create a museum and then compete to have the best day ever!
It has been designed from the ground up to be accessible to casual board game players. The quick & easy collaborative building draws folks in and they get excited about creating a space. Then the game switches to strategic set collection and brings them along for the ride. Easy to follow Action Cards help as well, and the emergent storytelling that manifests ensures a hilarious and memorable experience for all.

Let's start with Create.
You start by creating a museum, any kind of museum, collaboratively with your friends!

Then you fill it with shiny Memory Tokens and Visitor Meeples.
